During the gathering to honour protests victims, the youths demanded President Ruto to dissolve the government.
There has been wide expectation of a radical cabinet reshuffle if Ruto has to throw many of his people under the bus to save his own skin, but that would undoubtedly be seen against the prism of the growing civil in Kenya Kwanza between president and deputy. Ruto is also under intense scrutiny following his promise to engage the Gen Z protests, but so far there are movement plans to form a multi-sectoral plans amidst fears it will be populated by pliable pro-government groups with the protest movement relegated to the sidelines.

Interior CS Kithure Kindiki cited the June 25 storming and brief occupation of the Houses of Parliament as part of an attempt to oust President William Ruto’s government, claiming that the plotters hailed from both sides of the political divide, the governing Kenya Kwanza coalition and opposition leader Raila Odinga’s Azimio la Umoja coalition. Kindiki’s allegations echo Ruto’s initial reaction to the violent turn of events that fateful Tuesday as treasonous acts by criminal elements.
